bcfg boot mv #a #b

Move the item number specified by #a to the position

 

specified by #b in the boot list.

bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description"

Add a new boot option to the position in the boot

 

options list specified by #. The new boot option

 

references file.efi and is listed with the title specified

 

by Description.

For example, bcfg boot add 1 \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi "HP OpenVMS"adds an HP OpenVMS item as the first entry in the boot options list.

See the help bcfg command for details.

NOTE: You can also accomplish this step by using the \efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and \efi\vms\vms_show.efi utilities, which are available on the EFI System Partition for HP OpenVMS. Both vms_bcfg and vms_show are unique utilities for OpenVMS I64. The vms_bcfg utility differs from the bcfg EFI command in that vms_bcfg enables you to specify boot devices using VMS-style device names.

4.Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces if you are finished using them.

Press Control-Bto exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu. To exit the iLO 2 MP, enter X at the MP Main Menu.

Booting HP Open VMS

To boot HP OpenVMS on an entry class HP Integrity server, use one of the following procedures:

•“Booting HP OpenVMS from the EFI Boot Manager” (page 130)

•“Booting HP OpenVMS from the EFI Shell” (page 130)

Booting HP OpenVMS from the EFI Boot Manager

From the EFI Boot Manager, follow these steps:

1.Access the EFI Boot Manager menu for the system on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS.

a.Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter CO to select the system console.

b.Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu. If you are at another EFI menu, select Exit from the submenus until you return to the screen labeled EFI Boot Manager.

2.At the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list.

Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific set of boot options or arguments to use when booting the device.

3.Press Enter to initiate booting using the selected boot option.

4.Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces when finished using them.

Press Control-Bto exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu. To exit the iLO 2 MP, type X at the MP Main Menu.

Booting HP OpenVMS from the EFI Shell

To boot HP OpenVMS from the EFI Shell environment, follow these steps:
